It is one of he most advanced factories in the world for the production of glass tube containers for pharmaceutical use. America is the reference market, in particular the US, therefore the position in northern Mexico is strategic. But not only, in fact the President of the Group Sergio Stevanato says: “We feel that the American market is strategic for our growth in the next few years and here, in Monterrey, we have found what can be considered an ideal place due to the convergence of numerous key factors including an important local tradition in industrial glass working that dates back to the early 1900’s and one of the highest concentrations of excellent technical universities in Mexico.”
The choice of opening a new productive pole is in line with the world market trend to direct the development of new highly technological products to the US. Some of the biggest pharmaceutical groups already took this step some time ago and the Stevanato Group decided to meet these new needs by getting past the physical and logistical obstacle of distance caused by concentrating the productive capacity in Europe.
